5 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [XX xxx 2003]
9 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
11 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
12 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
13 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
14 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
16 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
20 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
21 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
25 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
26 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
27 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
28 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
29 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
30 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
32 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
33 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
34 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
35 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
36 have to be made anyway).
39 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
40 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
41 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
44 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
45 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
46 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
49 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
50 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
51 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
53 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
54 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
55 edit numbers of the version.
56 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
58 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
59 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
60 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
62 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
65 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
66 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
69 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
72 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
75 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
78 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
81 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
85 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
86 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
89 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
90 representations in a platform independent manner.
93 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
94 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
97 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
101 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
104 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
108 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
109 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
112 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
116 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
119 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
122 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
125 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
128 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
132 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
135 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
138 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
139 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
143 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
144 the 0.9.6 release series:
146 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
147 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
151 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
154 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
155 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
157 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
158 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
160 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
161 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
162 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
163 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
165 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
166 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
167 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
169 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
170 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
171 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
172 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
174 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
175 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
176 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
179 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
180 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
181 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
182 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
183 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
184 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f -o -type l) | while read F; do
185 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
186 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
189 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
190 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
191 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
194 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
195 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
196 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
197 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
198 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
200 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
201 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
203 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
204 error in AES-CFB decryption.
207 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
208 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
209 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
210 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
211 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
212 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
215 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
216 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
217 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
220 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
221 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
224 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
225 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
226 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
227 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
228 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
229 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
230 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
233 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
234 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
235 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
236 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
237 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
238 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
241 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
242 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
243 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
244 declaration has been changed from
247 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
248 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
249 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
250 has been changed into
251 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
253 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
254 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
255 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
257 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
258 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
260 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
261 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
262 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
263 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
264 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
265 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
266 always load it have also been added.
269 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
270 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
271 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
273 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
275 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
276 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
277 because it couldn't be used for anything.
279 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
280 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
281 command line option can be used to specify an
285 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
286 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
289 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
290 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
291 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
294 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
295 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
296 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
297 to work with the new engine framework.
298 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
300 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
301 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
302 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
303 to work with the new engine framework.
306 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
307 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
308 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
310 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
311 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
313 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
314 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
315 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
316 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
318 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
320 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
321 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
323 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
324 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
326 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
327 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
328 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
333 ERR_peek_last_error_line
334 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
338 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
339 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
340 still in the error queue.
341 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
343 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
345 default_algorithms = ALL
346 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
349 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
352 *) New experimental application configuration code.
355 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
356 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
357 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
358 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
360 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
361 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
363 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
364 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
366 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
367 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
370 *) New functions/macros
372 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
373 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
374 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
375 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
377 to request calling a callback function
379 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
380 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
382 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
383 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
384 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
385 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
386 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
387 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
388 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
389 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
390 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
391 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
393 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
394 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
397 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
398 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
399 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
400 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
401 the configuration scripts.
403 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
404 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
405 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
407 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
408 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
410 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
411 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
412 when reusing an existing buffer.
415 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
416 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
419 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
420 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
423 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
424 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
425 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
427 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
429 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
430 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
431 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
432 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
433 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
434 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
437 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
438 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
439 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
440 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
442 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
443 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
444 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
445 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
447 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
448 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
451 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
452 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
453 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
454 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
455 default), and then completely removed.
458 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
459 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
460 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
461 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
462 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
463 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
464 particular extension is supported.
467 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
468 to retain compatibility with existing code.
471 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
472 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
473 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
474 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
475 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
476 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
477 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
478 requires the destination to be valid.
480 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
481 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
484 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
485 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
486 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
489 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
490 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
492 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
493 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
494 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
495 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
496 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
497 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
498 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
499 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
500 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
501 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
502 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
503 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
504 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
505 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
506 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
507 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
508 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
509 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
510 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
514 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
517 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
518 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
519 become part of libeay.num as well.
522 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
523 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
524 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
525 false once a handshake has been completed.
526 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
527 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
528 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
529 client has followed the request.)
532 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
533 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
534 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
535 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
537 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
538 more bits available for options that should not be part of
539 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
542 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
545 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
546 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
547 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
550 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
551 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
554 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
555 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
556 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
557 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
560 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
561 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
562 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
563 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
564 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
565 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
568 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
569 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
570 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
571 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
572 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
573 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
574 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
575 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
578 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
579 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
582 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
585 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
586 md_data void pointer.
589 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
590 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
591 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
592 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
593 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
594 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
597 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
598 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
599 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
600 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
601 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
602 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
603 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
604 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
605 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
606 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
607 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
608 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
609 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
610 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
611 rather than letting it slide.
613 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
614 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
615 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
618 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
619 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
620 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
621 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
622 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
623 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
624 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
625 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
626 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
629 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
630 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
631 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
632 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
633 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
635 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
638 *) Add EVP test program.
641 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
644 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
645 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
646 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
647 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
648 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
651 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
652 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
653 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
654 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
655 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
656 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
657 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
659 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
660 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
661 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
666 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
667 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
668 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
669 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
670 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
674 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
675 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
676 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
677 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
682 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
683 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
685 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
688 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
689 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
690 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
691 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
692 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
693 functions prevents this.
696 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
699 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
703 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
704 revocation information is handled using the text based index
705 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
706 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
707 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
710 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
713 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
714 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
715 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
716 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
718 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
719 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
721 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
722 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
723 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
726 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
727 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
728 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
729 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
732 *) Speed up EVP routines.

750 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
751 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
753 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
754 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
755 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
756 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
757 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
758 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
761 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
762 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
765 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
766 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
767 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
768 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
770 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
771 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
772 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
773 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
774 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
775 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
779 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
780 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
781 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
782 and interrupts/cancellations.
785 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
786 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
789 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
790 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
791 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
793 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
794 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
798 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
799 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
800 than this minimum value is recommended.
803 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
804 that are easily reachable.
807 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
808 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
810 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
812 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
813 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
814 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
815 needed for static libraries under Win32.
818 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
819 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
820 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
823 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
824 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
825 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
826 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
827 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
828 internally such as S/MIME.
830 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
831 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
832 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
834 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
838 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
839 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
840 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
841 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
843 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
845 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
847 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
848 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
849 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
853 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
854 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
855 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
856 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
857 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
858 a window system and the like.
861 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
862 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
865 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
866 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
867 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
868 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
869 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
870 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
871 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
872 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
873 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
877 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
878 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
882 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
883 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
884 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
885 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
886 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
887 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
888 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
889 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
892 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
893 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
894 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
895 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
896 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
897 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
898 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
899 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
900 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
901 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
902 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
903 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
904 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
905 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
906 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
907 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
908 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
911 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
912 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
913 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
914 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
915 internal engine_int.h header.
918 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
919 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
920 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
921 modify their own ones).
924 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
925 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
926 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
927 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
928 later on via ctrl() commands.
929 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
930 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
931 structural references.
932 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
933 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
934 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
935 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
936 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
937 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
938 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
939 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
940 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
941 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
942 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
943 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
946 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
947 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
948 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
949 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
950 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
951 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
952 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
953 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
956 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
957 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
960 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
961 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
964 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
965 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
966 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
967 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
968 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
969 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
970 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
973 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
974 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
975 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
976 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
977 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
979 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
980 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
984 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
986 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
987 operations and provides various method functions that can also
988 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
990 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
991 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
993 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
994 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
995 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
997 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
1000 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
1001 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
1003 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
1005 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
1006 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
1007 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
1010 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
1011 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
1014 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
1015 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
1016 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
1017 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
1018 is 40 of more characters long.
1021 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
1022 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
1026 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
1027 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
1030 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
1031 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
1035 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
1037 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
1038 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
1041 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
1043 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
1044 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
1045 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
1047 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
1048 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
1050 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
1053 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
1057 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
1058 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
1059 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
1060 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
1062 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
1064 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
1065 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
1067 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
1068 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
1069 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
1070 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
1071 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
1072 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
1074 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
1075 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
1077 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
1078 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
1080 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
1081 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
1083 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
1084 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
1085 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
1086 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
1088 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
1089 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
1091 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
1092 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
1094 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
1095 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
1096 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
1097 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
1098 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
1101 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
1102 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
1103 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
1104 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
1107 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
1108 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
1109 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
1113 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
1114 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
1115 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
1116 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
1117 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
1118 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
1119 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
1120 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
1124 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
1125 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
1128 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
1129 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
1130 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
1131 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
1134 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
1135 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
1136 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
1137 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
1138 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
1139 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
1140 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
1141 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
1142 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
1143 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
1146 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
1147 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
1148 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
1149 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
1150 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
1151 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
1152 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
1153 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
1155 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
1156 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
1157 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
1158 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
1161 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
1162 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
1163 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
1164 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
1166 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
1167 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
1168 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
1169 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
1170 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
1174 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
1175 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
1176 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
1177 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
1181 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
1182 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
1183 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
1186 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
1187 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
1188 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
1189 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
1190 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
1193 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
1196 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
1197 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
1198 option to ocsp utility.
1201 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
1202 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
1203 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
1204 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
1205 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
1206 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
1207 the request is nonce-less.
1210 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
1211 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
1212 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
1215 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
1216 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
1217 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
1220 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
1221 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
1222 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
1223 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
1224 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
1227 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
1228 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
1232 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
1233 additional certificates supplied.
1236 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
1237 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
1241 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
1242 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
1245 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
1246 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
1247 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
1248 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
1249 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
1250 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
1251 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
1252 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
1253 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1255 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
1256 request to response.
1259 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
1260 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
1261 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
1262 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
1263 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
1264 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
1265 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
1266 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
1267 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
1268 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
1269 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
1272 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
1273 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
1274 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
1275 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
1278 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
1279 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1281 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
1282 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
1283 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
1286 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
1287 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
1288 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
1289 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
1290 <support@securenetterm.com>]
1292 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
1293 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
1294 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
1297 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
1298 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
1299 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
1300 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
1301 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
1302 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
1303 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
1304 <support@securenetterm.com>]
1306 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
1307 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
1308 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
1309 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
1310 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
1311 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
1314 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
1315 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
1316 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
1317 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
1318 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
1319 printout format cleaned up.
1322 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
1323 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
1324 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
1325 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
1326 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
1327 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
1328 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
1329 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
1332 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
1333 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
1334 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
1335 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
1336 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
1337 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
1338 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
1339 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
1342 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
1343 extensions from a separate configuration file.
1344 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
1345 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
1347 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1349 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
1350 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
1351 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
1352 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
1355 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
1356 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
1357 the given serial number (according to the index file).
1358 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
1360 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1362 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
1363 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
1364 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
1365 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
1367 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
1368 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
1370 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
1371 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
1372 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
1375 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
1376 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
1377 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
1380 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
1381 file name and line number information in additional arguments
1382 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
1383 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
1384 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
1385 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
1386 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
1387 functions are provided:
1389 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
1390 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
1391 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
1392 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
1394 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
1395 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
1396 extended allocation function is enabled.
1397 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
1398 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
1399 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
1401 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
1402 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
1403 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
1404 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
1405 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
1408 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
1409 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
1410 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
1412 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
1413 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
1414 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
1417 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
1418 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
1419 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
1420 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
1421 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
1422 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
1423 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
1424 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
1425 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
1428 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
1429 provide utility functions which an application needing
1430 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
1431 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
1432 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
1434 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
1435 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
1436 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
1437 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
1438 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
1439 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
1440 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
1441 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
1442 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
1444 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
1445 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
1446 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
1447 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
1450 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
1451 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
1452 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
1453 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
1454 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
1455 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
1456 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
1457 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
1458 will be added elsewhere.
1461 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
1462 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
1463 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
1464 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
1467 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
1468 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
1469 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
1470 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
1471 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
1472 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
1473 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
1474 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
1475 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
1476 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
1477 to produce the required SET OF.
1480 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
1481 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
1482 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
1485 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
1486 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
1487 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
1488 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
1489 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
1490 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
1493 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
1494 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
1495 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
1498 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
1499 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
1500 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
1503 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
1504 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
1505 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
1506 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
1507 code will still work when these eventually go away.
1510 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
1511 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
1514 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
1515 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
1516 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
1517 certifcates and CRLs.
1520 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
1521 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
1522 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
1525 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
1526 entries for variables.
1529 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
1530 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
1531 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
1532 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
1535 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
1536 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
1537 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
1538 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
1539 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
1540 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
1543 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
1544 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
1546 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
1547 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
1548 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
1551 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
1555 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
1556 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
1557 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
1558 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
1559 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
1560 order did not reflect the encoded order.
1563 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
1566 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
1567 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
1568 for now but they will eventually go away.
1571 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
1572 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
1573 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
1574 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
1575 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
1576 has also been converted to the new form.
1579 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
1580 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
1581 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
1582 for negative moduli.
1585 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
1586 of not touching the result's sign bit.
1589 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
1593 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
1594 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
1595 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
1596 type-specific callbacks.
1599 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
1601 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
1602 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
1604 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
1605 in sections depending on the subject.
1608 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
1612 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
1613 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
1614 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
1615 be handled deterministically).
1616 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
1618 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
1619 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
1620 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
1623 *) New function BN_kronecker.
1626 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
1627 positive unless both parameters are zero.
1628 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
1629 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
1630 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
1633 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
1634 sign of the number in question.
1636 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
1638 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
1639 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
1640 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
1641 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
1642 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
1645 *) New function BN_swap.
1648 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
1649 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
1650 results on negative inputs.
1653 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
1654 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
1655 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
1658 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
1659 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
1660 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
1661 and add new functions:
1670 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
1674 These functions always generate non-negative results.
1676 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
1677 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
1679 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
1680 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
1681 be reduced modulo m.
1682 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
1684 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1685 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1686 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1687 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1688 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1689 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1693 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
1694 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
1695 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
1696 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
1697 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
1699 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
1700 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
1701 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
1705 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
1708 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
1709 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
1712 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
1713 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
1714 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
1715 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
1719 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
1722 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
1725 *) Add the following functions:
1727 ENGINE_load_cswift()
1729 ENGINE_load_atalla()
1731 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
1733 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
1734 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
1735 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
1736 libraries unless it's really needed.
1738 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
1739 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
1740 declarations (they differed!).
1743 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
1746 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
1749 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
1752 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
1753 identity, and test if they are actually available.
1756 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
1757 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
1758 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
1760 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
1761 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
1764 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
1767 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
1770 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
1773 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
1774 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
1775 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
1777 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
1778 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
1779 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
1780 different shared library filenames on each system.
1783 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
1786 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
1787 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
1788 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
1790 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
1793 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
1794 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
1795 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
1796 binary backward compatibility.
1797 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
1798 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
1799 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
1803 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
1804 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
1805 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
1806 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
1810 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
1813 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
1814 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
1815 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
1816 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
1820 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
1823 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
1825 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
1826 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
1827 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
1828 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
1829 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
1830 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
1833 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
1834 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
1835 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
1836 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
1837 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
1840 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
1841 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
1842 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
1844 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
1845 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
1846 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
1850 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
1851 being properly terminated.
1854 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
1855 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
1856 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
1857 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
1859 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
1860 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
1861 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
1862 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
1863 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
1864 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
1865 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
1867 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
1869 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
1870 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
1873 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
1874 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
1875 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
1876 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
1877 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),

1879 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
1880 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
1882 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
1883 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
1884 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
1885 (see [openssl.org #212]).
1886 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
1888 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
1889 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
1892 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
1894 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
1895 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
1896 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
1898 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
1900 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
1901 and get fix the header length calculation.
1902 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
1903 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
1906 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
1907 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
1908 assertions could call abort()).
1909 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
1911 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
1913 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
1914 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
1915 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
1917 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
1919 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
1920 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
1921 by the selection routines (PR #130).
1924 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
1928 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
1929 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
1930 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
1932 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
1933 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
1934 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
1935 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
1936 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
1940 *) Changes in security patch:
1942 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
1943 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
1944 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
1947 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
1948 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
1949 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
1950 supplied buffer. (CAN-2002-0659)
1951 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
1953 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
1955 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1957 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
1958 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CAN-2002-0655)
1959 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
1961 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
1962 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CAN-2002-0656)
1963 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1965 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
1966 supply an oversized client master key. (CAN-2002-0656)
1967 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1969 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
1971 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
1972 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
1973 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
1975 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
1976 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1978 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
1979 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
1980 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
1981 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
1982 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
1983 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
1986 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
1987 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
1988 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
1989 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
1992 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
1995 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
1996 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
1997 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
1998 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
1999 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
2000 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
2002 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
2003 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
2004 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
2005 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
2006 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
2009 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
2010 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
2011 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
2012 BN_generate_prime().)
2014 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
2015 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
2016 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
2020 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
2021 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
2024 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
2025 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
2026 when using non-blocking I/O.
2027 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
2029 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
2030 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
2032 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
2033 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
2036 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
2037 configuration for the versions before that.
2038 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2040 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
2041 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
2042 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
2043 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
2046 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
2047 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
2048 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
2051 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
2055 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
2056 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2057 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2059 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
2060 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
2062 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
2063 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
2064 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
2065 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
2066 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
2067 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
2068 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
2071 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
2072 using a local variable.
2073 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2075 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
2076 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
2077 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2079 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
2082 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
2083 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
2085 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
2086 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
2087 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
2089 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
2091 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
2092 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
2093 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
2094 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
2097 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
2101 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
2102 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
2103 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
2104 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
2105 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
2107 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
2108 returns early because it has nothing to do.
2109 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2111 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2112 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
2113 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2115 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2116 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
2117 (Use engine 'keyclient')
2118 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
2120 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
2121 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
2122 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
2124 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
2126 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2127 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
2129 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
2131 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2132 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
2133 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2134 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
2136 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2137 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
2138 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2139 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
2141 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
2142 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
2144 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
2145 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
2146 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
2149 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
2150 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
2151 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
2153 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
2155 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
2156 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
2157 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
2158 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
2159 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
2160 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
2161 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
2164 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
2165 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
2166 one of the SSL handshake functions.
2167 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
2169 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
2170 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
2171 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
2172 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
2173 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
2174 the client will at least see that alert.
2177 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
2181 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
2182 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
2183 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2185 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
2186 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
2187 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
2188 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
2191 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
2192 before just sending a HelloRequest.
2193 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
2195 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
2196 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
2197 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
2198 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
2199 may leak via logfiles.)
2201 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
2202 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
2203 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
2204 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
2208 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
2209 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2212 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
2213 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
2214 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
2215 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
2216 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
2219 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
2220 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
2222 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
2223 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
2224 followed by modular reduction.
2225 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
2227 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
2228 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
2231 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
2232 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
2233 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
2234 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
2237 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
2240 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
2241 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
2244 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
2245 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
2246 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
2247 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
2248 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
2249 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
2251 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
2253 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
2254 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
2255 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
2256 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
2257 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
2259 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
2262 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
2263 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
2264 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
2265 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
2266 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
2267 to allow the necessary settings.
2270 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
2271 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
2272 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
2273 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
2276 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
2277 dh->length and always used
2279 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
2281 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
2282 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
2283 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
2284 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
2285 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
2290 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
2292 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
2298 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
2299 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
2300 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
2301 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
2303 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
2304 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
2305 always reject numbers >= n.
2308 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
2309 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
2310 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
2311 variable) is not atomic.
2314 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
2315 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
2316 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
2317 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
2319 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
2320 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
2322 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
2324 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
2326 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
2329 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
2331 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
2332 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
2333 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
2334 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
2335 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
2336 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
2337 to traverse all of 'state'.
2339 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
2340 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
2341 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
2343 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
2344 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
2346 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
2347 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
2348 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
2349 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
2350 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
2351 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
2352 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
2353 further strengthens the PRNG.
2356 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
2359 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
2360 an error message in this case.
2363 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
2366 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
2367 positive and less than q.
2370 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
2371 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
2373 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
2375 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
2376 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
2380 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
2382 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
2383 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
2384 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
2385 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
2386 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
2387 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
2388 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
2391 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
2392 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
2393 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
2394 detect the supposedly ignored error.
2396 Both problems are now fixed.
2399 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
2400 (previously it was 1024).
2403 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
2404 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
2407 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
2410 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
2411 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
2412 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
2415 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
2416 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
2417 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
2418 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
2419 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
2420 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
2421 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
2422 environment variables.
2424 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
2425 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
2426 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
2429 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
2430 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
2431 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
2432 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
2433 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
2434 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
2437 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
2441 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
2443 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
2444 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
2446 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
2447 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
2448 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
2449 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
2453 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
2454 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
2455 amount of data available.
2456 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
2457 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2459 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
2460 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
2461 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
2462 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
2465 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
2466 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
2470 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
2471 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
2472 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
2473 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
2476 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
2479 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
2482 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
2483 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
2485 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2487 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
2488 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
2489 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
2490 (but broken) behaviour.
2493 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
2495 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
2497 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
2498 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
2501 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
2505 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
2506 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
2508 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
2511 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
2512 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
2513 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
2515 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
2516 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
2517 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
2520 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
2521 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
2524 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
2525 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
2527 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
2529 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
2531 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
2532 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
2533 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
2534 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
2537 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
2540 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
2541 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
2542 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
2544 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
2547 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2549 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
2550 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
2551 but the code is actually correct.
2554 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
2555 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
2556 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
2557 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
2558 and leaves the highest bit random.
2559 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
2561 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
2562 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
2563 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
2564 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
2565 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
2566 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
2567 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
2570 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
2573 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
2574 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
2577 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
2578 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
2579 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
2580 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
2584 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
2585 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
2586 and break the signature.
2588 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2590 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
2594 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
2595 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
2596 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
2597 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
2598 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
2601 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
2602 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
2604 *) ./config script fixes.
2605 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
2607 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
2610 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
2611 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
2612 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
2613 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
2614 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
2616 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
2617 call failed, free the DSA structure.
2620 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
2621 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
2624 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
2625 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
2626 when writing a 32767 byte record.
2627 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
2629 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
2630 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
2632 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
2633 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
2634 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
2635 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
2636 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
2638 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
2641 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
2644 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
2647 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
2650 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
2651 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
2654 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
2655 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
2656 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
2657 result of the server certificate verification.)
2660 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
2661 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
2662 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
2666 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
2667 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
2668 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
2669 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
2670 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
2671 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
2672 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
2673 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
2676 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
2677 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
2678 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
2679 happening the other way round.
2682 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
2683 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
2686 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
2687 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
2688 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
2689 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
2692 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
2693 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
2695 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
2697 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
2698 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
2699 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
2702 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
2704 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
2706 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
2710 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
2712 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
2713 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
2714 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
2715 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
2716 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
2718 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
2719 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
2723 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
2726 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
2728 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
2729 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
2730 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
2731 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
2732 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
2733 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
2734 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
2735 by the Finished messages.
2738 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
2739 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
2741 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
2742 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
2743 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
2744 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
2745 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
2749 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
2750 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
2751 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
2752 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
2753 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
2754 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
2755 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
2756 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
2757 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
2761 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
2762 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
2763 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
2764 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
2766 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
2767 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
2768 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
2769 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
2770 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
2773 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
2774 been tested well enough.
2777 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
2778 it can return incorrect results.
2779 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
2780 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
2783 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
2784 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
2785 include zero length content when signing messages.
2788 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
2789 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
2792 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
2795 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
2799 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
2800 packages. The default package contains applications, application
2801 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
2802 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
2803 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
2804 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
2807 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
2808 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
2810 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
2811 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
2813 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
2814 random number < q in the DSA library.
2817 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
2818 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
2819 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
2820 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
2821 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
2822 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
2823 just makes things more complicated.)
2826 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
2830 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
2831 work better on such systems.
2832 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
2834 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
2835 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
2836 keyid to the certificates aux info.
2839 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
2840 if there was more than one signature.
2841 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
2843 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
2844 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
2845 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
2846 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
2849 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
2850 rather than always using the current time.
2853 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
2854 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
2855 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
2856 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
2857 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
2858 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
2860 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
2861 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
2863 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
2865 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
2866 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
2867 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
2868 the same hash value.
2870 As a result various functions (which were all internal
2871 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
2872 structure. This will break anything that messed round
2873 with X509_STORE internally.
2875 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
2876 exact match, rather than just subject name.
2878 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
2879 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
2880 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
2881 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
2882 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
2883 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
2884 entirely (maybe later...).
2886 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
2888 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
2889 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
2890 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
2891 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
2892 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
2893 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
2894 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
2895 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
2897 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
2898 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
2900 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
2901 to customise the verify behaviour.
2904 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
2905 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
2908 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
2909 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
2910 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
2911 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
2912 request is improperly encoded.
2915 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
2916 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
2919 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
2920 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
2922 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
2923 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
2927 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
2928 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
2929 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
2932 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
2933 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
2934 BIO/fp routines also added.
2937 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
2938 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
2940 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
2941 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
2942 demos/state_machine.
2945 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
2946 generation and verification.
2949 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
2950 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
2951 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
2952 encode and decode it manually.
2955 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
2957 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
2959 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
2960 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
2961 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
2962 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
2964 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
2965 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
2966 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
2967 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
2968 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
2971 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
2974 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
2975 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
2976 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
2978 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
2979 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT

2981 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
2982 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
2983 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
2984 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
2985 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
2987 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
2988 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
2990 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
2992 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
2993 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
2994 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
2998 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
2999 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
3000 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
3001 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
3005 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
3007 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
3010 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
3011 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
3012 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
3013 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
3014 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
3015 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
3016 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
3017 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
3018 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
3019 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
3020 short or long names are found.
3023 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
3024 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
3026 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
3027 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
3028 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
3029 version rollback attacks was not effective.
3031 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
3032 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
3033 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
3034 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
3037 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
3038 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
3039 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
3042 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
3043 these print out strings and name structures based on various
3044 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
3045 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
3046 to allow the various flags to be set.
3049 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
3050 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
3051 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
3052 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
3053 dates to be checked.
3056 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
3057 negative public key encodings) on by default,
3058 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
3061 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
3062 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
3063 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
3066 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
3067 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
3070 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
3071 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
3072 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
3073 are always statically linked for now, but there are
3074 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
3075 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
3078 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
3079 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
3083 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
3087 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
3088 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
3089 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
3090 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
3091 form signing output easier to verify.
3094 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
3097 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
3098 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
3099 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
3100 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
3101 are needed because all other string types have virtually
3102 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
3103 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
3104 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
3105 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
3106 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
3109 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
3111 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
3112 the syntax given in objects.README.
3113 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
3115 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
3118 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
3119 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
3120 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
3121 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
3122 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
3123 consistent name changes.
3126 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
3129 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
3130 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
3131 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
3132 environment variable, or the default random state file.
3135 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
3136 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
3137 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
3141 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
3142 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
3143 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
3144 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
3147 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
3148 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
3149 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
3150 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
3151 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
3152 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
3153 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
3154 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
3155 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
3156 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
3157 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
3160 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
3161 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
3162 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
3163 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
3164 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
3165 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
3166 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
3167 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
3168 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
3169 algorithm to openssl-dev.
3172 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
3173 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
3174 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
3175 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
3177 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
3178 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
3179 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
3180 omit any duplicate addresses.
3183 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
3184 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
3187 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
3188 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
3189 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
3190 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
3191 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
3194 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
3196 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
3197 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
3198 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
3199 Free => OPENSSL_free
3202 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
3203 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
3206 *) CygWin32 support.
3207 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
3209 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
3210 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
3211 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
3212 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
3213 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
3217 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
3218 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
3219 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
3220 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
3221 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
3222 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
3223 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
3226 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
3227 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
3228 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
3229 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
3230 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
3231 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
3232 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
3233 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
3234 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
3235 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
3236 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
3239 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
3240 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
3241 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
3242 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
3243 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
3245 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
3246 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
3247 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
3248 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
3249 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
3251 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
3254 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
3255 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
3256 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
3257 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
3259 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
3261 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
3264 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
3265 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
3266 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
3269 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
3270 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
3271 any installed hardware versions can.
3274 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
3275 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
3276 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
3280 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
3281 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
3282 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
3283 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
3284 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
3286 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
3287 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
3290 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
3291 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
3294 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
3295 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
3296 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
3300 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
3303 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
3304 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
3305 but no ssl client purpose.
3306 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
3308 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
3309 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
3310 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
3311 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
3312 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
3313 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
3314 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
3315 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
3316 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
3317 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
3318 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
3321 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
3322 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
3323 be obtained from the error queue.
3326 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
3327 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
3328 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
3329 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
3332 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
3335 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
3336 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
3337 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
3338 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
3339 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
3342 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
3343 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
3344 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
3345 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
3346 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
3349 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
3350 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
3351 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
3353 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
3355 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
3356 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
3357 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
3358 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
3359 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
3360 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
3361 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
3362 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
3363 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
3364 or "the configuration storage API"...
3366 The new configuration file reading functions are:
3368 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
3369 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
3371 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
3373 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
3375 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
3376 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
3377 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
3378 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
3379 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
3380 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
3381 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
3383 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
3384 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
3387 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
3388 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
3389 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
3390 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
3393 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
3394 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
3395 them in a portable way.
3396 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
3398 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
3400 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
3402 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
3403 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
3405 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
3406 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
3407 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
3410 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
3411 was larger than the MD block size.
3412 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
3414 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
3415 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
3416 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
3417 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
3421 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
3422 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
3423 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
3425 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
3427 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
3429 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
3430 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
3431 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
3432 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
3433 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
3434 Additional arguments are always ignored.
3436 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
3437 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
3439 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
3440 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
3443 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
3446 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
3447 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
3449 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
3450 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
3451 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
3452 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
3455 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
3456 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
3457 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
3458 does not suppress any output.
3461 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
3462 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
3463 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
3464 with all the associated security issues.
3466 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
3467 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
3468 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
3469 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
3470 use the value in the default purpose.
3473 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
3474 and fix a memory leak.
3477 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
3478 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
3479 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
3480 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
3483 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
3484 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
3485 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
3486 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
3489 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
3490 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
3491 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
3494 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
3495 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
3498 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
3499 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
3503 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
3504 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
3507 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
3508 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
3509 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
3512 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
3513 number generation fails.
3516 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
3519 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
3520 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
3522 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
3525 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
3526 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
3528 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
3529 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
3531 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
3533 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
3534 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
3537 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
3538 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
3540 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
3541 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
3544 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
3545 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
3546 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
3547 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
3548 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
3549 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
3551 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
3552 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
3553 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
3557 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
3558 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
3559 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
3560 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
3561 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
3562 counter, some don't.)
3563 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
3564 counters or duplicate objects.
3567 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
3568 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
3571 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
3572 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
3573 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
3575 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
3576 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
3577 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
3581 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
3582 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
3585 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
3586 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
3587 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
3591 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
3592 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
3593 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
3596 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
3597 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
3598 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
3599 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
3600 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
3601 should work without changes.
3604 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
3605 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
3606 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
3607 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
3608 must be defined. E.g.,
3609 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
3610 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
3611 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
3612 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
3614 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
3618 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
3619 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
3620 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
3623 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
3624 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
3625 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
3626 request header lines. Some software needs this.
3629 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
3630 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
3631 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
3632 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
3633 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
3634 is prompted for as usual.
3637 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
3638 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
3639 autodetect the card and use it if present.
3640 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
3642 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
3643 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
3644 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
3645 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
3648 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
3651 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
3655 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
3658 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
3661 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
3665 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
3668 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
3671 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
3672 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
3675 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
3676 options to produce them.
3679 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
3680 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
3683 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
3687 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
3688 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
3689 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
3690 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
3691 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
3692 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
3693 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
3696 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
3699 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
3700 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
3701 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
3704 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
3705 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
3707 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
3708 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
3711 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
3712 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
3713 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
3717 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
3718 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
3720 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
3721 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
3722 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
3723 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
3724 generation becomes much faster.
3726 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
3727 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
3728 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
3729 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
3730 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
3731 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
3732 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
3733 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
3734 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
3735 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
3738 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
3739 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
3740 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
3741 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
3742 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
3743 trial division stage.
3746 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
3750 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
3753 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
3756 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
3757 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
3758 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
3762 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
3763 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
3764 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
3767 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
3768 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
3769 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
3770 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
3772 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
3773 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
3776 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
3779 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
3780 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
3781 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
3782 Rabin-Miller iterations.
3785 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
3786 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
3787 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
3790 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
3791 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
3792 (instead of parameters) in future.
3795 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
3796 when a new cipher list is set.
3799 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
3800 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
3803 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
3804 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
3805 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
3807 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
3808 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
3809 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
3810 an error is flagged.
3812 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
3813 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
3814 the readability was also increased :-)
3815 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
3817 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
3818 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
3819 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
3820 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
3824 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
3825 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
3828 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
3829 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
3830 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
3831 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
3834 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
3835 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
3836 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
3837 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
3838 because they handle more complex structures.)
3841 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
3842 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
3843 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
3844 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
3846 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
3847 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
3848 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
3849 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
3850 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
3851 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
3852 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
3855 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
3856 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
3857 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
3858 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
3859 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
3862 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
3865 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
3866 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
3867 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
3868 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
3869 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
3872 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
3876 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
3877 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
3878 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
3879 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
3882 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
3885 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
3886 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
3887 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
3888 international characters are used.
3890 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
3891 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
3892 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
3896 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
3897 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
3898 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
3901 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
3902 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
3903 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
3904 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
3905 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
3906 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
3908 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
3909 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
3910 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
3911 be handled by the string table functions.
3913 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
3914 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
3915 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
3916 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
3917 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
3921 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
3922 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
3923 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
3924 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
3925 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
3927 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
3928 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
3929 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
3930 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
3933 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
3934 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
3935 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
3936 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
3937 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
3941 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
3942 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
3943 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
3944 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
3945 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
3946 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
3947 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
3948 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
3950 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
3951 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
3952 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
3955 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
3956 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
3957 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
3958 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
3959 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
3960 support to pkcs8 application.
3963 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
3964 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
3965 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
3966 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
3967 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
3968 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
3971 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
3972 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
3973 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
3974 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
3975 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
3979 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
3980 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
3981 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
3982 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
3986 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
3987 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
3988 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
3989 and any application specific purposes.
3991 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
3992 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
3993 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
3994 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
3995 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
3996 if the certificate is self signed.
3999 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
4000 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
4003 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
4004 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
4005 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
4006 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
4009 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
4010 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
4011 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
4012 Update documentation.
4015 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
4016 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
4017 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
4018 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
4019 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
4022 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
4024 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
4026 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
4027 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
4028 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
4029 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
4030 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
4031 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
4032 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
4033 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
4034 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
4035 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
4037 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
4039 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
4040 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
4041 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
4042 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
4043 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
4045 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
4046 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
4047 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
4048 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
4049 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
4050 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
4051 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
4052 request additional information:
4053 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
4054 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
4056 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
4057 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
4058 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
4061 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
4062 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
4065 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
4068 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
4069 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4071 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
4072 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
4073 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
4077 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
4078 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
4079 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
4081 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
4082 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
4083 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
4084 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
4085 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
4086 included in OpenSSL.
4089 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
4090 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
4091 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
4092 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
4093 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
4094 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
4097 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
4101 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
4102 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
4103 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
4104 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
4105 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
4109 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
4113 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
4114 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
4115 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
4116 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
4117 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
4118 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
4119 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
4120 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
4121 be maintained manually.
4123 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
4124 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
4125 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
4126 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
4127 work because people forget to call this function]
4128 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
4129 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
4130 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
4133 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
4134 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
4135 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
4136 should be discouraged from doing it.
4139 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
4140 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
4141 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
4142 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
4143 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
4144 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
4147 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
4148 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
4149 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
4151 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
4152 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
4153 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
4155 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
4156 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
4157 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
4158 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
4159 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
4160 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
4162 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
4163 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
4164 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
4166 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
4167 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
4170 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
4171 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
4172 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
4173 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
4176 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
4179 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
4180 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
4181 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
4182 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
4183 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
4184 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
4185 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
4186 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
4187 keys so we should be OK.
4189 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
4190 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
4191 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
4192 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
4193 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
4194 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
4195 stay in the name of compatibility.
4197 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
4198 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
4199 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
4201 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
4202 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
4203 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
4204 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
4205 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
4206 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
4210 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
4211 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
4212 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
4213 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
4214 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
4215 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
4216 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
4217 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
4218 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
4219 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
4220 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
4221 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
4222 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
4225 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
4228 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
4229 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
4230 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
4231 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
4232 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
4233 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
4234 single self signed certificate. This means that:
4235 openssl verify ss.pem
4236 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
4237 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
4241 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
4242 (and add it to external session representation).
4243 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
4244 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
4245 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
4246 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
4247 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
4248 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
4250 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
4252 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
4253 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
4254 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
4255 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
4257 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
4258 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
4259 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
4262 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
4263 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
4264 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
4268 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
4269 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
4270 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
4272 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
4273 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
4274 certificate auxiliary information.
4277 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
4281 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
4282 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
4283 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
4284 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
4285 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
4286 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
4287 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
4290 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
4291 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
4294 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
4295 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
4296 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
4297 manpages and fix a few bugs.
4300 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
4303 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
4304 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
4307 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
4308 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
4309 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
4310 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
4311 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
4312 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
4313 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
4314 using the new 'x509' options.
4316 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
4317 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
4318 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
4319 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
4323 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
4324 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
4325 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
4326 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
4327 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
4330 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
4331 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
4332 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
4333 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
4334 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
4335 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
4336 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
4337 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
4338 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
4339 the key length and effective key length are equal.
4342 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
4343 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
4344 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
4345 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
4346 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
4347 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
4348 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
4351 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
4352 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
4353 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
4354 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
4355 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
4356 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
4357 openssl.cnf for more info.
4360 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
4361 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
4362 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
4363 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
4364 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
4365 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
4366 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
4367 md should be large enough anyway.
4370 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
4371 for handling the random seed file.
4373 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
4375 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
4378 x509 (when signing).
4379 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
4380 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
4381 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
4383 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
4384 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
4385 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
4386 that support '-rand'.
4389 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
4390 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
4393 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
4394 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
4397 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
4398 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
4399 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
4400 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
4404 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
4405 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
4406 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
4407 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
4410 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
4411 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
4412 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
4413 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
4414 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
4415 print out all the purposes.
4418 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
4422 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
4423 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
4424 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
4425 single function call.
4428 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
4429 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
4432 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
4433 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
4434 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
4437 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
4438 when producing the local key id.
4439 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
4441 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
4442 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
4443 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
4447 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
4448 a public key to be input or output. For example:
4449 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
4450 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
4453 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
4454 in the message. This was handled by allowing
4455 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
4456 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
4458 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
4459 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
4460 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
4461 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4463 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
4464 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
4465 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
4466 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
4467 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
4468 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
4469 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
4470 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
4471 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
4472 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
4473 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
4474 trivial: move one line.
4475 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
4477 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
4478 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
4479 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
4480 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
4481 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
4482 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
4483 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
4484 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
4485 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
4486 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
4487 with an event loop for example.
4490 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
4491 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
4492 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
4493 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
4494 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
4495 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
4496 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
4497 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
4498 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
4501 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
4502 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
4503 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
4504 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
4505 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
4506 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
4509 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
4510 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
4511 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
4512 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
4514 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
4515 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
4516 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
4517 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
4521 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
4522 (still largely untested)
4525 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
4526 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
4529 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
4530 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
4533 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
4534 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
4535 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
4538 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
4539 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
4540 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
4541 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
4542 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
4545 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
4548 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
4549 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
4550 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
4551 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
4552 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
4556 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
4557 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
4560 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
4563 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
4564 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
4565 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
4566 are otherwise ignored at present.
4569 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
4570 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
4571 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
4572 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
4573 copied until the next read.
4576 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
4577 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
4578 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
4581 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
4582 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
4583 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
4584 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
4585 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
4586 associated functions.
4589 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
4590 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
4591 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
4592 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
4593 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
4594 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
4595 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
4596 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
4597 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
4601 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
4602 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
4603 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
4604 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
4607 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
4608 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
4609 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
4610 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
4611 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
4615 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
4616 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
4620 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
4621 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
4622 extensions to be obtained and added.
4625 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
4626 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
4629 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
4631 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
4632 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4634 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
4635 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
4637 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
4641 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
4642 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
4643 DH parameters contain its length).
4645 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
4646 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
4647 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
4648 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
4649 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
4650 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
4651 utter importance to use
4652 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
4654 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
4655 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
4656 attacks may become possible!
4659 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
4662 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
4663 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
4666 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
4667 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
4668 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
4672 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
4673 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
4674 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
4675 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
4676 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
4677 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
4678 private key operations.
4681 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
4684 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
4685 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
4687 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
4688 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
4689 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
4690 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
4691 the password callback is called.
4692 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
4694 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
4696 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
4697 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
4698 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
4699 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
4700 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
4701 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
4704 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
4705 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
4706 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
4707 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
4708 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
4709 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
4712 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
4715 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
4716 delete an unused file.
4719 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
4720 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
4721 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
4722 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
4725 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
4726 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
4727 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
4731 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
4732 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
4733 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
4735 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
4736 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
4737 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
4738 comparison" warnings.
4739 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
4742 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
4743 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
4744 derived keys are printed to stderr.
4747 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
4748 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
4750 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
4751 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
4753 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
4754 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
4755 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
4757 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
4758 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
4759 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
4760 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
4761 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
4763 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
4765 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
4766 The interface is as follows:
4767 Applications can use
4768 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
4769 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
4770 "off" is now the default.
4771 The library internally uses
4772 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
4773 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
4774 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
4776 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
4777 even the default) are now avoided.
4779 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
4780 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
4781 than just having a counter.
4783 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
4785 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
4789 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
4790 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
4791 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
4792 Initial "mode" flags are:
4794 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
4795 a single record has been written.
4796 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
4797 retries use the same buffer location.
4798 (But all of the contents must be
4802 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
4805 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
4806 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
4808 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
4809 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
4810 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
4813 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
4814 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
4816 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
4818 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
4819 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
4820 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
4821 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
4823 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
4824 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
4826 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
4827 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
4828 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
4829 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
4830 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
4831 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
4834 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
4835 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
4836 necessary function names.
4839 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
4840 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
4841 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
4842 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
4845 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
4846 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
4847 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
4850 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
4851 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
4852 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
4853 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
4855 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
4859 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
4860 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
4861 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
4864 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
4865 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
4869 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
4870 for the encoded length.
4871 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
4873 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
4876 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
4877 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
4878 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
4879 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
4882 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
4883 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
4884 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4886 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
4887 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
4888 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
4892 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
4893 to use the new extension code.
4896 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
4897 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
4898 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
4902 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
4903 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
4904 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
4908 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
4911 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
4912 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
4913 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
4916 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
4917 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
4918 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
4919 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
4922 *) DES library cleanups.
4925 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
4926 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
4927 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
4928 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
4929 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
4933 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
4934 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
4937 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
4938 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
4939 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
4940 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
4941 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
4942 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
4943 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
4944 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
4945 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
4948 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
4949 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
4950 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
4951 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
4952 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
4953 value doesn't matter.
4956 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
4960 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
4961 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
4962 "linux-sparc" configuration.
4963 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
4965 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
4968 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
4969 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
4970 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
4972 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
4973 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
4975 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
4978 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
4981 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
4984 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
4988 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
4990 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
4992 *) Updated some demos.
4993 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
4995 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
4998 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
5001 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
5004 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
5005 instead of using a fixed path.
5008 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
5011 *) Improvements for VMS support.
5015 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
5017 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
5018 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
5019 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5021 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
5022 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
5023 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
5024 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
5025 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
5026 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
5027 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
5028 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
5029 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
5030 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
5033 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
5034 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
5037 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
5038 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
5039 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
5040 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
5041 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
5043 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
5046 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
5047 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
5048 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
5051 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
5054 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
5055 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
5056 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
5057 key elements as negative integers.
5060 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
5061 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5064 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
5066 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
5067 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
5068 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
5071 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
5072 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
5073 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
5074 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
5075 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
5078 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
5081 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
5082 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
5083 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
5084 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5086 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
5087 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
5088 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
5090 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
5091 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
5092 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
5093 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
5094 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
5095 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
5096 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
5097 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
5098 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
5100 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
5101 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
5102 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
5103 does not influence s as it used to.
5105 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
5106 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
5107 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
5108 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
5109 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
5110 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
5113 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
5114 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
5115 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
5119 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
5120 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
5121 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
5125 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
5126 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
5127 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
5131 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
5132 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
5135 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
5136 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
5141 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
5142 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5144 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
5145 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5147 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
5150 *) Update HPUX configuration.
5153 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
5154 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5156 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
5157 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
5158 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
5162 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
5163 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
5164 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
5165 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
5166 now it really counts the depth.
5169 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
5170 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
5171 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
5172 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
5173 didn't match the private key).
5175 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
5176 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
5177 connection using the SSL_CTX).
5180 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
5183 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
5187 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
5188 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
5189 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
5192 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
5195 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
5196 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
5197 such as /usr/local/bin.
5200 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
5201 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
5203 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
5206 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
5207 extension adding in x509 utility.
5210 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
5213 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
5217 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
5220 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
5221 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
5222 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
5223 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
5224 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
5225 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
5226 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
5227 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
5228 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
5229 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
5232 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
5235 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
5236 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
5239 *) Fix some race conditions.
5242 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
5243 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
5246 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
5249 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
5250 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
5251 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
5252 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
5254 *) Fix lots of warnings.
5255 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5257 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
5258 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
5259 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5261 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
5262 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5264 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
5267 *) Fix typos in error codes.
5268 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
5270 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
5273 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
5274 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5276 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
5277 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
5280 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
5281 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
5284 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
5285 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
5288 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
5289 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
5292 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
5293 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
5296 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
5297 support typesafe stack.
5300 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
5301 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
5303 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
5304 old X509V3 handling code.
5307 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
5310 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
5313 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
5316 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
5317 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
5319 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
5320 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
5321 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
5322 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
5323 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
5326 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
5327 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
5328 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
5329 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
5330 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
5332 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
5333 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
5334 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
5335 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5337 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
5338 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
5339 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
5340 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5342 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
5343 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
5344 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
5345 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
5346 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
5347 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
5350 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
5351 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
5354 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
5355 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
5358 *) Tweaks to Configure
5359 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
5361 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
5365 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
5368 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
5369 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
5372 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
5373 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
5374 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
5377 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
5380 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
5381 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
5384 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
5385 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
5386 to library startup routines.
5389 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
5390 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
5391 codes along the way.
5394 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
5395 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
5396 objects to objects.h
5399 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
5400 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
5403 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
5404 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
5406 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
5407 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
5408 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
5410 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
5411 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
5412 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5414 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
5415 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
5416 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
5419 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
5421 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
5422 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
5425 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
5426 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
5427 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
5428 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
5429 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
5431 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
5432 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
5433 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
5435 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5437 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
5439 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
5441 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
5442 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5444 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
5445 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
5446 if someone would make that last step automatic.
5447 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
5449 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
5452 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
5453 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
5454 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
5455 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
5458 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
5459 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
5460 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
5463 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
5464 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
5465 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
5466 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
5467 installed as `perl').
5468 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
5470 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
5471 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
5473 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
5474 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
5475 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
5476 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
5477 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
5480 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
5483 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
5484 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
5485 is horrible: I feel ill....
5488 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
5489 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
5490 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
5491 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
5494 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
5495 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5497 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
5498 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
5499 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
5500 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5502 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
5503 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
5504 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
5505 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
5506 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
5507 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
5509 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5511 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
5512 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
5514 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
5515 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
5517 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
5520 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
5521 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
5525 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
5526 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
5527 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
5528 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
5529 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
5530 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
5531 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
5532 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
5533 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
5534 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
5535 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5537 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
5540 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
5541 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
5542 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
5543 for linking it into DSOs.
5544 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5546 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
5550 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
5551 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
5552 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
5553 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
5554 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
5555 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5557 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
5558 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
5559 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
5560 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
5561 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
5562 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
5563 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5565 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
5566 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
5567 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
5571 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
5572 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
5573 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
5574 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
5577 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
5578 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
5579 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
5580 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
5581 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
5585 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
5586 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
5587 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
5588 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
5589 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5591 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
5592 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
5593 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
5595 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
5596 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
5598 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
5599 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
5600 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
5601 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
5602 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
5605 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
5606 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
5607 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
5608 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
5609 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
5610 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
5611 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
5614 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
5616 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
5617 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
5620 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
5621 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
5623 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
5624 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
5627 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
5628 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
5629 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
5630 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
5631 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
5633 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
5634 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
5635 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
5636 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
5637 no way to reconfigure them.
5638 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
5639 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
5640 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
5641 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
5642 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
5643 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5645 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
5646 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
5647 recognized by the users.
5648 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5650 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
5651 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
5652 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
5653 already masked variable.
5654 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5656 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
5657 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5659 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
5660 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
5661 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
5662 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5664 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
5665 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
5666 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5668 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
5669 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
5670 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
5671 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
5672 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
5673 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
5674 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
5675 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
5677 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5679 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
5680 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
5681 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5683 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
5684 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
5688 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
5689 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
5691 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
5692 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
5693 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
5694 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
5697 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
5700 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
5701 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5703 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
5706 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
5707 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
5710 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
5711 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
5714 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
5715 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
5716 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
5717 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
5718 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
5719 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
5720 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
5723 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
5724 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
5726 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
5727 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
5728 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
5729 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
5730 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
5732 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
5733 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
5734 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
5737 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
5738 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
5742 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
5743 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
5744 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
5746 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
5747 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
5748 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
5752 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
5753 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
5754 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
5755 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
5758 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
5759 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
5760 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
5761 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
5764 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
5765 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
5766 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
5767 so it wasn't spotted.
5768 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
5770 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
5771 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
5772 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
5773 vectors if you have them.
5776 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
5777 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
5780 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
5781 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
5782 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
5783 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
5785 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
5786 it will update them.
5789 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
5790 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
5791 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
5792 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
5793 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
5794 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
5795 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
5796 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5798 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
5799 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
5800 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
5801 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
5802 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
5803 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
5804 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
5805 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
5806 the crypto/md/ stuff).
5807 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5809 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
5810 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
5811 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
5812 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
5813 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
5816 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
5820 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
5821 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
5823 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
5824 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
5826 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
5827 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
5830 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
5831 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
5833 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
5834 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
5836 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
5839 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
5843 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
5844 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
5845 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
5846 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
5848 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
5851 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
5854 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
5857 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
5858 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
5861 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
5862 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
5866 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
5867 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
5870 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
5871 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
5872 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
5875 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
5876 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
5877 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
5878 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
5879 properly to be processed.
5882 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
5883 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
5884 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
5887 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
5888 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
5890 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
5891 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
5892 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
5893 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
5894 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
5895 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
5896 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
5897 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
5898 or delete all the .err files.
5901 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
5902 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
5903 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
5904 to regenerate it if needed.
5905 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
5906 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
5908 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
5909 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5911 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
5912 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
5913 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
5914 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
5915 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
5918 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
5919 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5921 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
5922 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
5924 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
5925 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
5926 error, but didn't set one).
5927 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
5929 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
5932 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
5933 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
5936 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
5937 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
5939 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
5940 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
5941 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
5942 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
5943 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
5944 OID is not part of the table.
5947 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
5948 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
5951 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
5954 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
5955 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
5959 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
5960 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
5962 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
5964 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
5966 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
5967 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
5969 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
5970 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
5972 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
5973 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
5975 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
5976 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
5979 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
5980 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
5983 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
5984 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5986 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
5987 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5989 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
5990 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5992 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
5993 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5995 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
5996 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
5997 unused in the certificate verification process.
5998 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6000 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
6001 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
6004 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
6005 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
6006 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
6008 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
6009 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
6010 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
6011 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
6012 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
6014 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
6015 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
6018 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
6021 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
6024 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
6025 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
6027 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
6030 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
6033 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
6036 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
6037 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
6038 other error libraries.
6041 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
6044 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
6045 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
6049 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
6050 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
6051 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
6052 the new set of documenation files.
6053 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6055 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
6056 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
6057 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
6058 number of arguments.
6059 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
6061 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
6064 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
6065 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
6066 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6068 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
6071 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
6075 unixware-2.0-pentium
6079 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
6080 before they are needed.
6083 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
6087 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
6089 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
6090 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
6091 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6093 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
6096 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
6097 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
6098 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6100 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
6101 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
6102 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
6104 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
6105 when "ssleay" is still not found.
6106 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6108 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
6109 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
6111 *) Updated the README file.
6112 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6114 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
6115 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
6116 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6118 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
6119 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
6120 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6122 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
6123 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
6124 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
6125 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
6126 o removed obsolete TODO file
6127 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
6128 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6130 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
6131 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
6132 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
6133 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
6134 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
6135 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
6136 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6138 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
6141 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
6142 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
6143 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
6145 [The OpenSSL Project]
6148 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
6150 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
6153 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
6156 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
6157 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
6160 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
6161 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
6165 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
6167 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
6169 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
6172 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
6175 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
6178 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
6181 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
6184 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
6187 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
6190 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
6193 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
6196 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
6199 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
6202 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
6205 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
6208 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
6211 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
6214 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
6217 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
6220 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
6221 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
6222 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
6225 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
6226 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
6229 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
6232 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
6235 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
6236 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
6239 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
6242 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
6245 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
6246 bytes sent in the client random.
